Good Building Guide 7 Replacing failed plasterwork
Publication Year
1991
Document Status
Current
Abstract
In rehabilitation work, the replacement of internal plaster is a common and often expensive operation. Complete replastering may be necessary, particularly where the positions of internal partitions are to be changed or where old deteriorated lime plaster is present. If only localised failure caused by dampness or movement has occurred, partial replacement or repair will sometimes be possible. This Guide shows how to prepare commonly encountered background surfaces for wet plastering and internal render, and how to select appropriate plaster systems to achieve a sound, durable finish.
